June 08, 2014, Ayacucho to Andauaylas

Very nice paved road, going is slow due to curves and obstacles however it's a great ride. Road runs along the top of the Andes and the altitude keeps around 13,500'+.

June 09, 2014, Andahualyas to Abancay, 104 miles:
The road is paved about half way and then it turned to dirt, dust and rocks, three hours of it, however, more amazing views!

Great ride from Abancay to Cuscos, twisty mountain road and only one construction stop.
GPS started mapping, road climbing out of Abancay:

When I first saw Cusco I was a bit concerned about navigating and finding a place to stay however it went great. Asked directions to the Plaza de Armas twice and then a policeman directed me to a Hostal with parking. Within 15-20 minutes I was settled.
Wondered around the plaza and found a pub, Norton's Rat, motorcycle themed place and hung out there. It's tourist central however, I met a lot of fun people. Life is Good!
